    T20 WC: 'Lost But Will Bounce Back,' Says BCCI Secy Saikia After India’s Super 8s Loss To SA

    BCCI Secy Saikia: After India suffered a heavy 76-run loss to South Africa in their Super Eights clash of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Devajit Saikia voiced confidence that the defending champions will recover quickly from the setback.

    South Africa produced a clinical all-round display to outplay India in front of 90,954 fans. Despite being reduced to 20/3 inside four overs, the Proteas rebuilt through David Miller (63 off 35 balls) and Dewald Brevis (45), whose 97-run stand steadied the innings. A late flourish from Stubbs powered them to a competitive 187/7.

    India’s reply never found rhythm. Early wickets derailed the chase as they slipped to 51/5 within the first 10 overs. Shivam Dube’s fighting 42 briefly raised hopes, but disciplined bowling from Marco Jansen (4-22), Keshav Maharaj (3-24) and Corbin Bosch ensured the asking rate spiralled beyond reach. India were eventually bowled out for 111 in 18.5 overs, bringing an end to their 12-match winning streak in T20 World Cups.
